In Defence of the Good & the Happy

" If you always do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." - Anthony Robbins

Human nature fascinates me, always has.  From body language, to voices,habits, beliefs, handwriting, the reason why they do the things that they do and believe in the things that they believe in...just fascinates me to no end. 

I enjoy reading inspirational stories, books, blogs, listening to seminars and just seeing the different views of people on the same subjects.  No two people have the same views on things, everyone is entitled to their opions and thoughts; however ...I have a need to defend the happy and the good of our world, because it seems that we have become the minority in the game of life. 

I have been reading a few things on-line the past couple of weeks, and I know that if I don't like it, don't read it.  How about the naysayers and the introverts, the "woe is me", the haters, the angry - why do they get to so publicly vent and bash others?  I think it is time to take the blame off the happy and the good for the reason your life is the way it is, when you point a finger at someone - look at your hand, three fingers are pointing back at you. 

I use to be a very angry and sad person.  Everyone and everything was to blame for why my life was the way it was...until I realized that I had to take responsibility for my part in the mistakes and disappointments, and being angry and sad all the time...was getting me nowhere pretty fast.

Since we can't see ourselves without mirrors, what you like and don't like in someone, is a mirror of what is inside you.  Good or bad, we need to own all parts of ourselves, love them and own them.

I am empathic, it makes me ill to hear comments made about people I don't know, the ones that I do - it breaks my heart and I cry for not only them, but for the one that uttered the words of hate and spite.  Don't spite someone, don't complain ( it gets you no where - trust me), don't hate, don't burn with rage at the world, the people you live with, work with, play with - open your heart, change your view on things, don't expect someone or something to come along and fix you - you need to fix yourself, you are in control of your life and happiness - if you allow people to upset you, you give your power away. When I was angry and sad, all my anger was going to the wrong people - the truth of the matter is, I didn't like myself very much, and that is why everything would happen the way it did. I was angry at me, and who I had become without even knowing it was happening.

I know where I have been and who I use to be, and because of that - I know I never want to be that person again, I accept that at the time - that is who I needed to be, but it is much better to wake up and know that you can do everything you want to do, even if it doesn't happen as fast as you would like it to - enjoying each day and knowing who you are, and loving it.  Ask God, your higher power - to help you, to open your heart, to others, but more importantly...to yourself, because until you love yourself with all your being, nothing will change. 

Love something about yourself everyday...and you will see, that you will love that same thing in others.

Be brave, and may God be with you.
